I just dont understand why we(people of christchurch or where ever)dont get these built again...
i reckon the time is right to make Brittens again.
While I agree the time is right to make bikes again, to continue to remake the same design
over and over (like Harleys and Morgans [car]) is not what John Britten was about.

I think it's time for somebody in NZ to take over the batton and create new, wonderfully
advanced thinking m/c's, and if the Britten family want to get involved and even lend the
name (to help establish a/the brand if you like) great.

Even John would be making new designs now, not just spitting out the same old things.
That is why he would never have been a manufacturer, because he was always looking
forward, for the next idea.
